## EDMarketConnector needs permission to use shortcuts
This appears on the `Configuration` tab of the application Preferences on
macOS because the application doesn't have the necessary OS permissions to
listen to all keyboard input.
The intention of this is to support the 'hotkey' feature of this application,
so that you can trigger an update (as happens when you dock if you have the
'Automatically update on docking' option active) with a key press.
Unfortunately this code has atrophied on macOS and developer documentation
isn't very helpful. In any case you can no longer run the Game natively on
macOS so it's unlikely you wouldn't simply have the application window visible
on macOS, and thus you can just press the 'Update' button.
If anyone can confirm how a tkinter application is meant to signal to macOS, on
Catalina or later, that it would like to listen to all keyboard input we can
investigate getting this working again.
It would seem to be the 'Input Monitoring' part of 'Privacy & Security', but
with no applications listed there's seemingly no way to add another. It's also
possible the hotkey detection code will need a wholesale rewrite on macOS.
